Construction Goes Vertical on UnCommons in Southwest Las Vegas

Much-anticipated mixed-use development enters critical next phase as community begins to rise over the upcoming months

LAS VEGAS (Feb. 11, 2021) – Matter Real Estate Group (Matter) has announced UnCommons, located at the corner of Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in southwest Las Vegas, has begun vertical construction on the first phase of the $400 million development. This important milestone brings the first-of-its-kind mixed-use community one step closer to its opening in early 2022.

Once completed, the innovative, walkable campus will offer a mix of office spaces, residential units, restaurants and cafes, health and fitness studios, and Platform One, Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall. Starting with the groundbreaking of UnCommons in August, Matter has carefully managed construction in following strict health and safety guidelines for its workforce during the pandemic.

“Taking this exciting project vertical demonstrates the incredible progress that has been made on bringing UnCommons to completion,” said Matter Partner Jim Stuart. “This wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and leadership of Commissioner Naft and the rest of the Clark County team, whose support will help bring this vibrant new epicenter for business to southwest Las Vegas.”

At the onset of the pandemic in early 2020, Matter re-engaged Gensler, the world-renowned architectural firm behind UnCommons, for a redesign integrating health and safety features set by the WELL Building Standard™. The features include near hospital-quality HVAC systems, operable windows and patios, touch-free access, abundant natural daylight, interior finishes made with materials to limit the spread of bacteria and additional sheltered outdoor seating. UnCommons will be the first project in Nevada that will be built to the standards for WELL Certification™, the highest third-party endorsement of a building’s performance and the health of its occupants.

“UnCommons is an important part of Clark County’s economic recovery effort,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft. “It will attract new, corporate businesses that will create good-paying jobs and provide an innovative mixed-use development in the thriving southwest for all to enjoy. I am pleased to continue working with Matter and Gensler on this project and congratulate them and all of the hardworking men and women building UnCommons on today’s milestone.”

UnCommons is also pursuing certification by Green Globes®, a nationally recognized green rating assessment, guidance and certification program. The revolutionary program recognizes sustainability goals for new construction projects, existing buildings and interiors to encourage improved environmental and health performance while reducing environmental impacts.

The celebrated mixed-use community recently achieved the Registered Green Globes Merit Award and Registered WELL Merit Award from the San Diego Green Building Council (SDGBC), which recognizes outstanding sustainable design in the 2020 SDGBC Sustainability Awards.

The mixed-use community has captured the attention of CBRE, the global leader in commercial real estate, which will be moving its Las Vegas headquarters to UnCommons. Attracted to UnCommons’ commitment to the health and safety of residents and employees, the Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company will occupy nearly 20,000 square feet encompassing an entire floor of one of UnCommons’ five office buildings.

The stylized urban campus will be comprised of 500,000+ square feet of modern office space with market-leading design and technology, 830+ residential units, an entertainment venue, trendsetting restaurants and cafes that follow the good food movement, health and fitness studios, a multi-purpose conference center, a pedestrian trail and public art. Platform One, a food hall showcasing the best of the local food scene, will introduce an innovative touchless food pickup mechanism for carry-out or delivery, as well as infrastructure to integrate health and safety.

UnCommons Welcomes Community Engagement Lead to Foster Culture of Community

Amalie Zinsser Brings Professional Enrichment Expertise from WeWork to New Mixed-Use Development

LAS VEGAS (October 1, 2020) – UnCommons, Matter Real Estate Group’s much-anticipated mixed-use development at Interstate 215 and Durango Drive in southwest Las Vegas, has announced the addition of  Amalie Zinsser as community engagement lead. With several years of experience in professional enrichment, Zinsser will be responsible for developing a culture that instills a sense of belonging and fosters genuine human connection for the mixed-use community, which is scheduled for opening in early 2022.

“Amalie’s role at UnCommons is vital, as this project has been intentionally designed to fulfill the modern workforce’s desire for a human-centered workplace that enhances their lives through rich amenities, open space and connectivity,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “Amalie will help shape UnCommons as a collaborative hub for our community. We are incredibly lucky to have her on board to guide all of us to a better place and to amplify the experience at UnCommons.”

Bringing the skills she honed while serving as people and portfolio operations director at WeWork for five years, Zinsser will foster the UnCommons ethos of community and connection through innovative tenant and resident programs, collaborative events, thought-provoking panels and more. With Zinsser as the catalyst, these pieces will come together to offer an elevated experience that enables people, teams and businesses to operate in harmony with each other, accelerating performance and growth.

“Where we live and work matters for our own sense of self and wellbeing,” said Zinsser. “The desire to belong and connect with others is a basic human instinct, and I look forward to helping develop the UnCommons community into one that is ripe with genuine connections and where everyone feels welcome, valued and involved.”

Some of the innovative programs that are being planned by Zinsser include the Sunrise Series, a regular morning event open to the public that will help energize, inspire and set intentions for the week through yoga, meditation and movement instruction; and the UnCommon Ideas Series, which will bring visiting speakers across all disciplines to explore progressive topics.

UnCommons will reimagine the workplace experience with market-leading design and technology; floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome daylight and views of the natural Las Vegas surroundings; breakout spaces for individual work or small group collaboration; a conference center that can be used to host small meetings and workshops; and more. Bringing together multiple fitness studios, open-air common areas, contemporary residential units, a luxury movie theater and a mélange of food and beverage options, the campus will set the foundation for a thriving, inspiring workplace.

The highly anticipated mixed-use campus will bring to life Platform One, Las Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall; trendsetting restaurants and cafes that follow the good food movement; and nearly 1,000 apartment residences in a walkable, micro community. Future phases will bring UnCommons to more than 500,000 square feet of modern office space, built with distinctive architectural features and the latest in safety innovations.

CBRE Signs Lease to Move Company’s Las Vegas Office to UnCommons

LAS VEGAS (September 18, 2020) – CBRE, the global leader in commercial real estate, will be moving its Las Vegas office to UnCommons, a $400 million first-of-its-kind, 40-acre mixed-use development. Developed by Matter Real Estate Group (Matter) and designed by acclaimed architectural firm, Gensler, UnCommons is poised to become the city’s epicenter for business when it opens in southwest Las Vegas at Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in early 2022.

“It makes a bold statement that CBRE has chosen UnCommons as their new Las Vegas headquarters,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “We are excited to have CBRE on our tenant roster and to help deliver an enhanced workplace experience for their employees.”

CBRE, a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company, will occupy nearly 20,000 square feet encompassing an entire floor of one of UnCommons’ five office buildings. The world’s largest commercial real estate services and investment firm, CBRE offers a range of integrated services including facilities, transaction and project management; property management; investment management; appraisal and valuation; property leasing; strategic consulting; property sales; mortgage services and development services.

“The landlord’s commitment to health and safety helped solidify our decision to move our Las Vegas office to UnCommons,” said Pete Schippits, president of CBRE’s Mountain-Northwest Division. “The sustainability and wellness features at UnCommons align with our workplace priorities, while the design, walkable site, amenities and outdoor spaces provide the type of environment in which our clients and employees can thrive.”

In response to COVID-19, Matter took immediate action by re-engaging Gensler for a redesign of UnCommons to integrate health and safety features in compliance with the rigorous, science-based criteria set by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™). UnCommons is the first development in Nevada to be constructed for WELL Building Standard™ and one of the first in the nation to be built to standards set by the new WELL v2™ pilot, the first rating system to focus exclusively on the impacts of buildings on human health and wellness. UnCommons is also pursuing Green Globes®, which recognizes sustainability goals for new construction projects, existing buildings and interiors to encourage improved environmental and health performance while reducing environmental impacts.

UnCommons will reimagine the workplace experience with market-leading design and technology; floor-to-ceiling windows that welcome daylight and views of the natural Las Vegas surroundings; breakout spaces for individual work or small group collaboration; a conference center that can be used to host small meetings and workshops; and more. Bringing together multiple fitness studios, open-air common areas, contemporary residential units, a luxury movie theater and a mélange of food and beverage options, the campus will set the foundation for a thriving, inspiring workplace.

Matter Real Estate Group’s UnCommons to be Nevada’s First Development Built for WELL™ Certification with Post-COVID-19 Solutions

LAS VEGAS – August 20, 2020 – UnCommons, Matter Real Estate Group’s much-anticipated mixed-use development at Interstate 215 and Durango Drive in southwest Las Vegas, will be the first in Nevada to be built with rigorous, science-based criteria set by the International WELL Building Institute™ (IWBI™). Construction is now underway on the $400 million, 40-acre project which, upon completion of the first phase in early 2022, will introduce the next generation of office, residential and lifestyle space built for the challenges of an ever-changing world.

At the onset of the pandemic, Matter re-engaged Gensler, the world-renowned architectural firm behind UnCommons, for a redesign integrating health and safety features set by the WELL Building Standard™. They include near hospital-quality HVAC systems, operable windows and patios, touch-free access, abundant natural daylight, and interior finishes made with materials to limit the spread of bacteria. WELL Certification™ is the highest third-party endorsement of a building’s performance and the health of its occupants.

“We recognized with COVID-19 that a fundamental shift was taking place, which will render many office structures as unsafe and therefore obsolete practically overnight. Modifying existing buildings with needed changes to keep occupants safe is cost prohibitive, making new construction the default winner,” said Jim Stuart, Matter Real Estate Group partner. “With the adjustments we made to our building systems plus additional design attributes, we believe we have unlocked the answer for employee safety that will serve as the preferred model moving forward. We are hopeful that when complete, the intention and thoughtfulness that inspired our work at UnCommons will deliver great design, as well as respond to the needs of our community.”

The redesign spans the UnCommons community, a stylized urban campus that will be comprised of 500,000+ square feet of modern office space with market-leading design and technology, 830+ residential units, a venue that blends music and movies, a beer garden, trendsetting restaurants and cafes that follow the good food movement, health and fitness studios, a multi-purpose conference center, a pedestrian trail and public art. The project’s recently announced Platform One, a food hall showcasing the best of the local food scene, has been redesigned to introduce an innovative touchless food pickup mechanism for carry-out or delivery, as well as infrastructure to integrate health and safety. Additionally, the redesign vastly enhances the amount of sheltered outdoor seating.

“We have pushed through many long hours over the last several months adjusting the UnCommons plan to capture the best practices for the modern workplace in a post pandemic world. We are entering a new phase of shifted priorities where employee heath, wellness and safety will be the standard going forward,” added Darrel Fullbright, Gensler’s principal in charge for UnCommons.

UnCommons is also pursuing certification by Green Globes®, a nationally recognized green rating assessment, guidance and certification program. The revolutionary program recognizes sustainability goals for new construction projects, existing buildings and interiors to encourage improved environmental and health performance while reducing environmental impacts.

Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak, who designated UnCommons as a high-impact project (HIP) during his time as a Clark County Commissioner, has commended the development team for a comprehensive redesign built to WELL’s stringent standards. “When our nation has faced widespread challenges before, it is often the innovators within our own great state who have found solutions to get us through difficult times,” said Sisolak. “The team behind UnCommons is carrying on that tradition now with this bold approach, and I look forward to watching this project progress.”

“UnCommons, located in the Southwest portion of Clark County, will be a hub for innovation. It has already garnered the attention of top corporations from Nevada and throughout the United States,” said Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft. “I look forward to welcoming them to the neighborhood when they open.”

“We have an incredible responsibility at UnCommons to design, engineer and construct an integrated mixed-use community that delivers solutions that adapt to meet the dual challenge of sustainable construction, while providing an atmosphere that makes the people who will occupy the buildings feel safer,” said Kevin Burke, Matter Real Estate Group partner and CEO of Burke Construction Group. “As a builder, engineer and 30-year resident of Las Vegas I can assure you that we will deliver on this promise.”

“With an ethos of community and sense of belonging, UnCommons will serve as a reminder, now more than ever, of the importance of human connection, social engagement and wellbeing,” said Stuart. “UnCommons will inspire people to return to work in this innovative workplace designed to keep people safe and able to work on their own, flexible terms. But perhaps most importantly, UnCommons has given us a generational opportunity to redefine the workplace conceived from the point of view of our collective experiences and relationships with one another.”

UnCommons Unveils Plans for Platform One, Las Vegas’ First Neighborhood Food Hall

LAS VEGAS – May 18, 2020 – UnCommons, a first-of-its-kind development coming to Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in late 2021, has unveiled plans for Platform One, Las Vegas’ first neighborhood food hall. Concepted by Batch Hospitality (Batch), Platform One will call on some of the city’s best culinary talent to contribute their individuality to a harmonious space of shared passion for unsurpassed gastronomy.

The announcement comes on the heels of Batch’s participation in “UnCommons Heroes,” the delivery of nearly 4,000 upscale meals to healthcare professionals at hospitals throughout the Las Vegas Valley with Matter Real Estate Group (Matter), the developer behind UnCommons. Evan Glusman, a partner in Batch along with Wayne F. Jefferies and Chef Chris Conlon, provided more than 1,000 dinners from his family restaurant, Piero’s Italian Cuisine.

“The delivery of meals through UnCommon Heroes in response to COVID-19 has become a strong foundation for us to kick off our partnership with Batch Hospitality,” said Jim Stuart, Matter Real Estate Group partner. “It has also brought us to reevaluate this project and what the future of our food hall will look like. We want to bring people together, but we want to do it safely. We are building Platform One as a solution, so if there comes a future need for social distancing and enhanced sanitation measures, we’ll be ready.”

Paying homage to the arrival of the Union Pacific Railroad in Las Vegas in 1904, Platform One will introduce yet another first to the Las Vegas Valley. From Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia to Istanbul’s Grand Market, food halls have attracted some of the most imaginative chefs and adventurous diners for centuries. Platform One will carry on that tradition and create some of its own as home to over a dozen local chefs who will stretch their creativity while showcasing artisanal and local products.

The two-story, 18,000-square-foot Platform One will house a collection of 20 novel culinary experiences that will showcase the talents of more than a dozen local chefs, including Roy Ellamar, Claudia Andracki, Jessica Perlstein and Geno Bernardo, in addition to an upper level private events space.

Bernardo, a 20-year veteran of the Las Vegas culinary scene, will serve fresh seafood and shellfish inspired by Italian raw bars. His creations will include kanpachi crudo with pork crackling and banyuls vinegar, and wild mackerel with mustard greens, Aleppo pepper and tangerine. Desert Bloom Eco Farm will bring organic, fresh produce to Platform One stemming from Andracki’s 17 years learning the nuances of Southern Nevada farming in gardens, greenhouses and aquaponics systems combined with Perlstein’s seasonal creations. Desert Bloom will offer guests the best of the garden in bowls, soups and salads like hearty white bean and Swiss chard soup, and roasted heirloom carrots with spinach, feta and herb vinaigrette. Ellamar, an accomplished chef from Hawaii who was selected by readers of Eater as “2017 Chef of the Year,” will bring his cuisine to Platform One.

“Piero’s opened in 1982 and while the restaurant has evolved with the times, the core of our success has remained impeccable service, outstanding cuisine and personal relationships. We’ve always treated our customers like family and will bring that same family feeling to Platform One,” said Glusman. “I am proud of where I’ve been and extremely excited about the future of Las Vegas’ restaurant industry.  Together, with my partners Chris and Wayne, I’m excited to be part of another ‘new’ in the business. Platform One at UnCommons, is an amazing opportunity to collaborate with and unveil concepts from top local chefs in our close-knit community, all under one roof.”

Designed to foster an inspiring workplace, UnCommons has nearly 100,000 square feet of restaurants, entertainment and residences, a multi-purpose conference center and inspirational art, all showcasing the design of the globally-renowned architecture firm, Gensler. Situated within a walkable micro community, the 40-acre site will include a beer garden and fitness studios in addition to a variety of entertainment programming. A $400 million project, UnCommons will also offer more than 830 apartment units and over 500,000 square feet of office space ranging from small creative spaces to full floor opportunities for corporate tenants with integrated amenities to promote collaboration, flexibility, wellness, quality work and social interaction for today’s employees who prioritize community, inspiration and lifestyle.

Partners within the Matter team, whose goal is to elevate the everyday human experience and enable people, businesses and communities to thrive, have led the development for other Las Vegas projects including Town Square, an open-air gathering place with shopping, dining and entertainment located south of the Las Vegas Strip; and Centra Point, one of the largest master-planned business parks in Southern Nevada boasting 30 acres and 10 buildings with more than 450,000 square feet of office and retail space.

UnCommons and Burke Construction Group Deliver Nearly 4,000 Free Meals to Local Hospitals for UnCommon Heroes Project

LAS VEGAS – May 4, 2020 – In support of the community during the coronavirus pandemic, UnCommons, a first-of-its-kind community coming to southwest Las Vegas being developed by Matter Real Estate Group, and Las Vegas-based Burke Construction Group have delivered nearly 4,000 free upscale dinners to local night shift healthcare workers. Deliveries were sent to every night shift employee at all 14 hospitals in the Las Vegas Valley over 12 days to show their appreciation for the community’s first responders, as well as to support local restaurants.

From Tuesday, April 14 through Saturday, April 25, 3,742 meals were delivered to local hospitals including Sunrise Hospital, Desert Springs Hospital, St. Rose Dominican Hospital’s San Martin and Siena Campuses, Southern Hills Hospital, Henderson Hospital, Summerlin Hospital, Mountain View Hospital, Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center, North Vista Hospital, Spring Valley Hospital, Valley Hospital Medical Center and University Medical Center of Southern Nevada. The meals were prepared by some of Las Vegas’ favorite restaurants including Piero’s Italian Cuisine, Lotus of Siam, Sushi Kame and dessert from Urth Caffé. Representatives were onsite during the deliveries to show their appreciation.

“This project truly integrated the alignment of an ‘uncommon hero’ and the ethos of the UnCommons community, which is designed to bring people together,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “When we reached out to local hospital administrators, we discovered that the night shift workers hadn’t received as much attention, so we wanted to make sure that their courageous work was not going unnoticed. It’s been an incredibly inspiring experience to watch everyday citizens suit up and go into harm’s way for the care of others, and it has forever changed our perspective on these healthcare professionals who are on the front line every day.”

“There have been so many people in this community who continue to step up and help, and for an organization like UnCommons, that focuses on the importance of community, we felt that it was only right to give back,” said Kevin Burke, president and CEO of Burke Construction Group and partner of Matter Real Estate Group. “This is not a sprint, this is an endurance race, and each and every day we have to reach out and help those who need it the most during this time.”

“We were so honored to be one of the restaurants chosen to be a part of these donations,” said Evan Glusman of Piero’s Italian Cuisine, an iconic Las Vegas restaurant. “Once we got in the kitchen again, we wanted to work as hard as our Las Vegas healthcare professionals are working in order to give them a great meal.” Piero’s Italian Cuisine, which is closed during the shutdown, reopened its kitchen to prepare meals for healthcare professionals. Piero’s, which opened in 1982 at 355 Convention Center Dr., is a revered Las Vegas institution, known for its authentic Italian cuisine and old school Las Vegas environment.

“Putting smiles on the faces of these brave healthcare professionals was such an amazing feeling and we are so happy that we could show our love and appreciation for them through our food,” said Chef Eric Kim from Sushi Kame, a top Japanese restaurant in Las Vegas. The restaurant, which remains open for takeout, took the time to allocate resources to help feed healthcare professionals during this time. Sushi Kame’s celebrated cuisine highlights a diversity of ingredients, preparations, and a range of textures. Located at 3616 West Spring Mountain Rd., orders are available by calling (702) 665-5731.

“We have so much appreciation for our healthcare community. The sacrifices they are making to be able to keep Las Vegas safe is incredible, and we just wanted to be able to thank them for all they do,” said Kenny Okada of Lotus of Siam, a James Beard award-winning restaurant.” Lotus of Siam, also closed during the shutdown, reopened its kitchen to prepare meals for healthcare workers. Serving the award-winning Northern Thai cuisine of Chef Saipin Chutima, Lotus of Siam has two locations: the original at 953 E. Sahara Ave. and 620 E. Flamingo Rd.

Each meal was accompanied by a piece of Urth Caffé’s signature marbled coffee cake. “We couldn’t be more thankful of every healthcare professional during this time and we hope that our donations made their long day just a little sweeter,” said Shallom Berkman, co-founder of Urth Caffé, a pioneer of exclusively heirloom, organic coffees, fine teas and health conscious cuisine.

The meal donations follow UnCommons’ recent $25,000 donation to the Culinary Workers Union Local 226’s Helping Hand program, which is helping provide food assistance to those in need in Las Vegas, through efforts led by Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft. The $25,000 donation is part of a $100,000 commitment that Matter has made toward local efforts in the fight against coronavirus. Of that donation, $25,000 went toward the purchase of much needed N95 face masks for healthcare professionals in support of efforts by Governor Steve Sisolak and $25,000 was donated to the Jewish Family Services Agency to provide meals for senior citizens in support of efforts by Naft. The remaining $25,000 donation is earmarked to support additional needs as identified by Sisolak.

UnCommons, a fully financed, first-of-its kind mixed-use development in southwest Las Vegas, will break ground this spring. The $400-million project is designed for the modern workforce’s desire for a workplace that enhances their lives through rich amenities, open space and connectivity. The curated office, retail, restaurant, lifestyle and residential offerings will be complemented by a pedestrian trail and public art, situated on a walkable 40-acre site. The development will include outdoor common spaces, a venue that blends music and movies, a beer garden, a food hall showcasing the best of the local food scene, additional food and beverage spaces, health and fitness studios, a multi-purpose conference center, 500,000+ square feet of modern office space, 830+ urban stylized apartment units and more.

UnCommons and Matter Real Estate Group Partner with Burke Construction Group and Local Restaurants to Provide Nearly 4,000 Free Meals to all 14 Hospitals in Clark County

LAS VEGAS – April 10, 2020 – Matter Real Estate Group (Matter), the community-minded development firm behind UnCommons, a first-of-its-kind development coming to Durango Drive and the 215 Beltway in southwest Las Vegas, will provide nearly 4,000 free meals to each of the 14 hospitals in the Las Vegas Valley. Together with Burke Construction Group (Burke), Matter will be supporting some of Las Vegas’ top restaurants, including Piero’s Italian Cuisine, Lotus of Siam, Sushi Kame and Urth Caffé, to provide healthcare professionals with upscale dinners from Tuesday, April 14 through Saturday, April 25.

“While this ‘shut down’ to keep our community safe has led to so much isolation, this is our way to help bring the community together to thank these uncommon heroes, our local healthcare professionals. We have reached out to the chefs and owners of restaurants that are local favorites to support this effort, including a few that will become a vital part of UnCommons,” said Matter Real Estate Group Partner Jim Stuart. “At the same time, we are demonstrating our support for the Las Vegas restaurant industry — a tight-knit community that has come together in their own hard times to support those on the front lines of this pandemic.”

Matter and Burke have scheduled these deliveries with officials at every Clark County hospital as part of a coordinated effort. Based on the needs outlined by each hospital, these deliveries will be made during the night shift to provide dinners for every employee working at that time. In addition to financial support, Burke will be delivering the meals to the local hospitals, starting with 300 Italian dinners from Piero’s Italian Cuisine to Sunrise Hospital on Tuesday, April 14. Dinner will also be delivered to every nightshift employee on duty at University Medical Center of Southern Nevada, Southern Hills Hospital & Medical Center; North Vista Hospital; Spring Valley Hospital; Desert Springs Hospital; St. Rose Dominican Hospital, San Martin Campus; St. Rose Dominican Hospital, Siena Campus; Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center;  Henderson Hospital; Summerlin Hospital Medical Center; MountainView Hospital – ER at Aliante; Centennial Hills Hospital Medical Center; and Valley Hospital Medical Center.

“In these unprecedented times, it is imperative that we, as local companies, come together to graciously thank those on the front line, while also helping our neighborhood businesses. We are proud to be a part of this great city that we have called home for over 35 years, and we felt it was our responsibility to give back to a community that has done so much for us,” said Kevin Burke, president and CEO of Burke Construction Group and partner of Matter Real Estate Group. “Together we will get through this because we are Vegas Strong!”

“We are immensely grateful to our local healthcare professionals, who selflessly put the care of others before themselves,” said Evan Glusman of Piero’s Italian Cuisine, an iconic Las Vegas restaurant. “We want to do whatever we can to be there for them, too.” Piero’s Italian Cuisine, which is closed during the shutdown, will be reopening its kitchen to prepare meals for healthcare professionals. Piero’s, which opened in 1982 at 355 Convention Center Dr., is a revered Las Vegas institution, known for its authentic Italian cuisine and old school Las Vegas environment.

“We know how hard it must be for healthcare workers to find time to eat during their shifts,” said Chef Eric Kim from Sushi Kame, a top Japanese restaurant in Las Vegas. “They take care of us, and we want to take care of them.” Sushi Kame, which remains open for takeout, will be allocating resources to help feed healthcare professionals during this time. Sushi Kame’s celebrated cuisine highlights a diversity of ingredients, preparations, and a range of textures. Located at 3616 West Spring Mountain Rd., orders are available by calling (702) 665-5731.

“Our healthcare community is at the heart of Las Vegas during this time,” said Kenny Okada of Lotus of Siam, a James Beard award-winning restaurant. “We want to do whatever we can to support them.” Lotus of Siam, also closed during the shutdown, will reopen its kitchen to prepare meals for healthcare workers. Serving the award-winning Northern Thai cuisine of Chef Saipin Chutima, Lotus of Siam has two locations: the original at 953 E. Sahara Ave. and 620 E. Flamingo Rd.

Each of the meals will be accompanied by a piece of Urth Caffé’s signature marbled coffee cake. “We are delighted to come together with UnCommons and the local restaurant community to feed many of the Las Vegas healthcare professionals who are working tirelessly in this time,” said Shallom Berkman, co-founder of Urth Caffé, a pioneer of exclusively heirloom, organic coffees, fine teas and health conscious cuisine.

The meal donations follow Matter and UnCommons recent $100,000 donation toward local efforts in the fight against coronavirus, of which $25,000 went toward the purchase of much needed N95 face masks for healthcare professionals in support of efforts by Governor Steve Sisolak and $25,000 was donated to the Jewish Family Services Agency to provide meals for senior citizens in support of efforts by Commissioner Michael Naft. The remaining $50,000 will be allocated through the guidance of Sisolak and Naft.

UnCommons, a fully financed mixed-use development in southwest Las Vegas, will break ground this spring. The $400-million project is designed for the modern workforce’s desire for a workplace that enhances their lives through rich amenities, open space and connectivity. The curated office, retail, restaurant, lifestyle and residential offerings will be complemented by a pedestrian trail and public art, situated on a walkable 40-acre site. The development will include outdoor common spaces, a venue that blends music and movies, a beer garden, a food hall showcasing the best of the local food scene, additional food and beverage spaces, health and fitness studios, a multi-purpose conference center, 500,000+ square feet of modern office space, 830+ urban stylized apartment units and more.

UnCommons Donates $100,000 to Support Fight Against the Spread of Coronavirus in Nevada

LAS VEGAS – April 9, 2020 – Matter Real Estate Group, the community-minded development firm behind UnCommons, has donated $100,000 to support efforts led by Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak and Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft in the fight against the spread of COVID-19.

“Based on guidance by Governor Sisolak and Commissioner Naft, we are making donations that will provide immediate support for our community,” said Matter partner, Jim Stuart. “The people of Las Vegas have been greatly affected by the coronavirus and we feel compelled to take action in this time of great need.”

The funds will be divided evenly between recommendations made by the state and county. Matter has already donated $25,000 toward the purchase of much needed N95 face masks for healthcare professionals in partnership with Sisolak and $25,000 toward providing meal deliveries for senior citizens in partnership with Naft. The remaining $50,000 will be allocated as determined by both elected officials.

“This initial donation by Matter will help care for our most vulnerable population during this time – senior citizens who risk their health by leaving home for food and other basic needs,” said Commissioner Naft. “The unwavering commitment to Las Vegas by community leaders like Matter demonstrates that we truly are in this together.”

“We conceived UnCommons as the new centerpiece of our community as a place, ironically, that connects people,” said Stuart. “It’s in that spirit that we feel compelled to take action now, particularly when this virus has left us all so isolated.” Matter had earlier announced plans for a groundbreaking party for UnCommons where both Governor Sisolak and Commissioner Naft were scheduled to speak. The company later canceled the event as the impending spread of the coronavirus and its impact have become clear. The company is now recognizing the milestone through community support.

UnCommons, a fully financed, first-of-its kind mixed-use development in southwest Las Vegas, will break ground this spring. The $400-million project is designed for the modern workforce’s desire for a workplace that enhances their lives through rich amenities, open space and connectivity.

Burke Construction Group Named General Contractor of Matter Real Estate Group’s UnCommons Project

LAS VEGAS (Oct. 22, 2019)Matter Real Estate Group has named Burke Construction Group Inc. as general contractor of the firm’s $400-million UnCommons project. The first-of-its kind mixed-use development in southwest Las Vegas will break ground this spring and be completed in fall 2021.

The curated office, restaurant, food hall, lifestyle and residential offerings, designed by the globally renowned architecture firm Gensler, will be complemented by a pedestrian trail, multi-purpose conference center and inspirational art, all situated on an easily walkable 40-acre site.

The San Diego-based developer, Matter Real Estate, believes it is taking on a true partnership through this announcement. “The value that Burke Construction Group places on sustainable strategies, relationship building, value adding and really working as a trusted partner is what sets them apart from the competition,” said Matter Real Estate Partner Jim Stuart.

Phase I of UnCommons includes nearly 200,000 square feet of office space, a variety of popular new eateries and a food hall featuring carefully edited versions of the best of the local food scene. Lifestyle and entertainment uses include a variety of fitness studios and a luxury movie theater, plus an additional 382 urban style apartment units with the convenience of approximately 1,200 parking stalls located in two modern onsite parking structures. Phase I represents $250 million of new commercial and residential construction and upon completion, UnCommons will house 3,000 employees and more than 2,000 residents. The project will deliver a new supply of office space each year to meet the anticipated ongoing market demand.

“Collaboration, communication and accountability will be the driving forces in the partnering approach taken on this project,” explained Kevin Burke, President and CEO of Burke Construction Group and also a partner of Matter Real Estate. “We look forward to embarking on a collaborative partnership by producing a project in an environment that embodies our core values of quality results, professionalism and integrity. We are excited to be a part of an incredibly talented project team.”

The Burke Construction Group team will utilize a four-story hybrid structure made of concrete and steel—the same type of support model the firm has successfully used with the Credit One Corporate Bank Headquarters and the first building at the UNLV Harry Reid Research and Technology Park. “Hybrid structures allow a more efficient design of the reinforced concrete structural elements as well as of the steel structural elements,” Burke commented.

From an aesthetic front, functional spaces support end users with abundant access to outdoors and daylight with large perimeter windows. Burke Construction Group will also employ virtual design and construction strategies to create multi-dimensional representations of physical and functional characteristics of the buildings.

“The different technologies Burke uses allows the team to run clash detections, model 3D spaces and visualize what the project will look like through a 360-degree visual of the space,” Stuart explained. “Another added benefit is that those tools and technology give us the ability to coordinate projects earlier and mitigate and reduce construction requests for information and change orders.”

Since forming in early 2018, Matter Real Estate has rapidly advanced and emerged as a leading developer with approximately 2 million square feet of commercial and industrial projects underway. Some of Matter Real Estate’s other Las Vegas projects include the recent groundbreaking of the 725,000-square-foot Matter Logistics Center @ West Cheyenne Avenue, the 450,000-square-foot Matter Park @ Henderson, now under construction, the new 150,000-square-foot Matter @ Craig Road, and the 135,000-square-foot Matter Business Park @Warm Springs, now nearing completion.

UnCommons, the First-of-its Kind Mixed-use Community in Las Vegas, Moves Forward with Secured Financing

LAS VEGAS (Sep. 24, 2019) – Construction financing has been secured for UnCommons, a first-of-its kind mixed-use development in southwest Las Vegas being developed by Matter Real Estate Group. The highly anticipated $400-million project will break ground this spring and be completed in fall 2021.

The curated office, restaurant, food hall, lifestyle and residential offerings, designed by the globally renowned architecture firm Gensler, will be complemented by a pedestrian trail, multi-purpose conference center and inspirational art, all situated on an easily walkable 40-acre site.

“UnCommons will bring Las Vegas residents a vibrant, new centerpiece to the community: a modern, urban-inspired mixed-use development designed to enhance the lives of the people who live and work there,” said Matter Real Estate Partner Jim Stuart. “Much of what will make UnCommons stand out will be the food and beverage lineup. Additionally, the lifestyle offerings are being curated to showcase some of Las Vegas’ top talents, as well as boutique brands that will be new to the market. UnCommons mirrors transformative projects that have been launched in similar sized cities such as Austin and Nashville,” he added.

Phase I of UnCommons includes nearly 200,000 square feet of office space, a variety of popular new eateries and a food hall featuring carefully edited versions of the best of the local food scene. Lifestyle and entertainment uses include a variety of fitness studios and a luxury movie theater, plus an additional 382 urban style apartment units with the convenience of approximately 1,200 parking stalls located in two modern onsite parking structures. Phase I represents $250 million of new commercial and residential construction and upon completion, UnCommons will house 3,000 employees and more than 2,000 residents. The project will deliver a new supply of office space each year to meet the anticipated market demand ongoing.

Matter Real Estate worked with lender Mosaic Real Estate Investors, founded by Ethan Penner and Vicky Schiff, to complete the acquisition and move forward with construction. “We personally seek out like-minded entrepreneurial developers that are not only sound investments for our platform, but those that are bringing projects to life with enduring impact. The team at Matter is doing that with their vision for UnCommons,” said Penner.

When Governor Sisolak was serving as Chair of the Clark County Commission, he immediately designated UnCommons as a high impact project (HIP), a recognition that is selectively provided for projects that create economic diversification for the state.

Other high-profile HIP projects in Southern Nevada include the $2 billion Allegiant Stadium, the new home to the Las Vegas Raiders and UNLV football teams, and Sheldon Adelson’s and Madison Square Garden’s $1.5 billion MSG Sphere at the Venetian.

The development team also worked closely with Clark County Commissioner Michael Naft in processing the complex entitlements. “UnCommons represents an important new entertainment destination for the residents of our community as well as the opportunity to bring a world class work environment for our local employers,” added Commissioner Naft.
According to the firm managing the office leasing and CBRE managing director Michael Newman, there has already been huge interest in the office space with multiple tenants well into lease negotiations. “UnCommons is unique in Las Vegas by specifically addressing the trends affecting the recruitment and retention of workforce talent. Frankly, I don’t believe the market fully recognizes the impact this project will have with local employers” said Newman.
